Then you must have a different recipe from what I have
seen.  The white was translucent charcoal grey and the
yolk was pea-green.  All said they made their own.
Ming comes from mainland China, Mei-ling comes from
Taiwan, Kim is ethnic Chinese from Thailand and
Pei-Chieh comes from Hong Kong. I have never seen
amber colored eggs, other than tea eggs.
